You, Me, and 5 Bucks 020: a chat w/ Frankie of The Boy About Town

I'm so very excited to talk to the person behind one of my fav accounts on instagram, @90svalley. Most of the time I feel like what they post is right on my wavelength at the time. We both love the erotic thriller movies of the 80s and 90s. Of course we had to get straight into our faves and what we think of where the genre is now and what it needs to do going forward. The topics of Sam Levinson, Gen Z and Millennials, and the directors that we love among tons of other things! Enjoy!—Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more…) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Guest: 90svalley | @90svalley  | Twitter | LetterboxdHost: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

Ahh, the 90s. Such a perfect time for the erotic thriller genre. It only felt right to pay homage to one of the greats, James Spader. I stumbled across this one from deep in the vault and I'm glad to experience Dream Lover from 1993. I get into the mystery of why this wasn't a box office hit, the minimalist fashion, and bitch about why they just can't make 'em like this anymore. ---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie Follow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge]Well what can we say about Havoc? There is so much to say and yet so little at the same time. It really is quite an accomplishment in film. While most of the actors would like to pretend that this never happened, but guess what "the North remembers".I roped Charles into this review as we explore the real underbelly of the y2k cringe genre. We constantly ask, "Oh, (actors name) what are you doing here?" From the offensive accents and affects, the dreadful fashion, and the horrifying reality that people like this exist.Off-topic rants include: Harry Potter, Jersey Shore, Hitchcock films, just why this was green-lit in the first place--- Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! Hosts: Lauren @lauren_melanie & Charles @charleshaslamFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge Blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

I've decided to call these movies, "one of those". It represents films you don't hear too much about but have a stacked cast that you recognize and had no idea existed. For me this represents Clay Pigeons. It's been a long time coming for me to review this un even film starring 90s indie snark queen, Janeane Garofalo, Joaquin Phoenix, and Vince Vaughn. On this episode I get into my first experience buying a DVD player, bargain bin films, identifying 90s brunette indie actresses, and how I will basically watch Joaquin in anything. Off-topic rants include: Playstation, MTV, and Coen Brothers filmsCheck out my new project/merch, VCR Shoppe ---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! GIVE US A 5 STAR RATING & SUBSCRIBE!Host: Lauren @lauren_melanieFollow Fashion Grunge PodcastFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge

While all over the world we are celebrating the work of Cillian Murphy, it only felt right to dive into one of his most legendary roles as Tommy Shelby.I decided to recap and introduce the first episode for those who may have not seen it (what are you doing, go watch it immediately). Set in 1919 Birmingham, England we start after WWI to see what the Shelby family has been up to and how they continue their reign in Small Heath.I get into this rich story that has historical origins, the subtlety of the action, and the character development that will inevitably stand the test of time."by order of the Peaky Blinders..."---Get BONUS episodes on 90s TV and culture (Freaks & Geeks, My So Called Life, Buffy, 90s culture documentaries, and more...) and to support the show join the  Patreon! Host: Lauren @lauren_melanieFind more Fashion Grunge on LinktreeJoin me on Substack:  The Lo Down: a Fashion Grunge Blog/newsletter☕️ Support Fashion Grunge on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fashiongrunge
